Across Canada from 2020 to 2023, registrations of new Electric Vehicles (EVs) grew at an average of 53% annually1.
We have worked collaboratively to provide our clients with consistently reliable charging solutions, which have transformed them from customers into long term partners.
Five years ago, Cascades announced a pilot project to encourage employees to switch to electric transportation. In addition to having access to charging stations at work, the 1,400 employees based in Kingsey Falls now had the possibility of receiving $2,000 in financial assistance for the purchase of an EV.
Today, the company makes a positive assessment with the program still in effect. More than 350 employees have switched as Cascades continues deployment across close to 75 locations across North America with approximately 10,000 employees.*
Working with our team means you can count on over 15+ years of industry experience, operating one of the largest EV charging networks in North America.
We’ve completed thousands charging deployments, and you can trust our expertise to guide you from start to finish through your electrification journey.
